Property Description for 221 Dean Street
GREAT NEW Price for 2021
Welcome to a classic 1855 Boerum Hill landmark townhouse. This is the perfect setting for your Brooklyn lifestyle - suitable for formal or casual townhouse living and offering lots of flexibility on how to use all of this space! It's conveniently located on the prettiest block in Boerum Hill. We are arranging PRIVATE showings now for your convenience.
This legal 3 family home is currently set up with an owner's duplex on the lower two floors with garden and cellar. There are 2 floor-through apartments above -- the 3rd floor is a classic layout, and the top floor is a unique loft style space with high ceilings, original wide plank floors and skylights.
Given this highly desirable location on a leafy landmark block, a popular solution is to convert to a vast one  family home or a triplex/garden layout.
The classically detailed Parlor floor features 11' ceilings, original crown moldings, wooden shutters, floor-to-ceiling windows, parquet floors, pocket doors and a marble fireplace with a gilded period mirror. It's a beautiful entertaining space.
The rear Parlor includes a strikingly renovated kitchen with a breakfast room and a deck, overlooking the garden. You will love the Caesarstone countertops, Miele induction range, stainless steel Miele oven, microwave and dishwasher and a stainless steel JennAir refrigerator. And for your convenience, there is an up-to-date powder room tucked under the stairs on the parlor floor. The lower spaces include 2+ bedrooms and a full bath. The primary bedroom has lots of closets and a sweet patio overlooking your private landscaped rear yard.
The third floor is a bright floor-through space recently used as 1 BR apartment and home office. It features two marble mantles, tin ceilings, parquet floors and beautiful views over the pine trees in the rear yard.
The fourth floor is a stunning wide open lofty space with high ceilings, amazing light, and original wide plank floors, perfect for artistic pursuits or conversion to a unique primary bedroom suite.
All together it is a beautiful 3780 square foot space with the rare luxury of private outdoor space. The deck and garden are shaded with mature trees and plenty of space for entertaining and remote working or learning outdoors - a slice of "country in the city."
This peaceful block features many beautifully renovated homes and is conveniently located to all the special amenities of the Boerum Hill area, including shopping, gourmet grocery stores, dining, and entertainment on Atlantic Ave, Smith Street and Court Street, the Brooklyn Academy of Music and great public and private schools. It is also a quick walk to Brooklyn Bridge Park, Park Slope, Fort Greene, Cobble Hill and Brooklyn Heights. The annual Dean Street block party, a 30-year tradition on this block, is legendary and a great way to get to know your neighbors.

Boerum Hill | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
Boerum Hill is a tiny, quiet, primarily residential neighborhood in Brooklyn. There are broad tree-lined streets that are filled with elegant three and four-story brownstones and townhouses, mostly built between 1840 and 1870. There is a definite family vibe to the neighborhood, but young professionals are moving in, and with them are coming trendy bars to cater to their desire for some measure of nightlife, without having to linger in Manhattan. These new bars and restaurants are being sandwiched in amongst existing shops on both Atlantic Avenue and Smith Street, which are the main commercial areas in Boerum Hill.
Boerum Hill offers a convenient location that is still able to maintain its small-neighborhood feel. Shopkeepers value their customers and remember their regulars. It continues to do what it was designed to do, namely provide small-town living in the very shadow of the big city. Boerum Hill is an easy commute to other parts of the city, making it easy to come home every day to the peace and tranquility of Boerum Hill while commuting to a job anywhere in the city.
The neighborhood is quite walkable and you can take the time to catch up with your neighbors while visiting on their stoops. Shopping on Atlantic Avenue is stress-free with no high pressure. You can meet with friends at any of the many coffee shops and while away pleasant hours in conversation. The dining scene on Smith Street is similarly laid-back. Don’t expect that there will be quite as much to see or do as there is in Manhattan, but there are a decent number of interesting bars and restaurants providing a measure of nightlife. The trade-off is worth it, as Boerum Hill provides a quiet, peaceful place to live and raise a family.
